EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Jason Kidd got his 84th career triple-double Friday night as the New Jersey Nets ended a three-game losing streak with a 109-96 win over the Sacramento Kings.

Kidd had 22 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists despite playing with a cracked rib that the Nets revealed on Thursday. It was Kidd’s ninth triple-double of the season, tying his personal high, and his sixth against the Kings.

Vince Carter led the Nets with 26 points. He also had 11 rebounds. Both Kidd and Carter were the subjects of trade rumors that did not pan out at Thursday’s deadline.

Reserve forward Gerald Green scored 21 points for the Celtics. Boston has lost 28 of 31 and 11 straight on the road, two shy of the club record set in 1978-79, when the team dropped its final 13 road games of the season under Dave Cowens.

Jazz 114, Nuggets 104

DENVER — Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer returned to Utah’s lineup and helped the Jazz rout Denver. The Jazz beat the Nuggets for the sixth straight time and increased its lead over second-place Denver to a whopping 91/2 games.

Bulls 105, Wizards 90

CHICAGO — Luol Deng tied a career high with 32 points, and Kirk Hinrich added 20 points and 12 assists to help Chicago win its third straight since the All-Star break.

Gilbert Arenas scored 36 points for the Wizards and during one second-half stretch had 18 straight Washington points. His three-point play got Washington within four in the final quarter, but then the Bulls took off.

Pistons 94, Magic 89

ORLANDO, Fla. — Chauncey Billups scored 28 points, and Richard Hamilton added 22 for Detroit. It was the second time in three nights Detroit beat Orlando after a 110-88 victory on Wednesday.

Bobcats 102, 76ers 87

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Adam Morrison, Matt Carroll and Gerald Wallace each scored 19 points, and Charlotte, minus its sick coach, tied a team record with its fourth straight win.

The third-year Bobcats, who won four in a row to end last season, were never threatened by the 76ers despite coach Bernie Bickerstaff leaving the bench late in the first quarter with flu-like symptoms.
